Protect your peppers!
Don’t plant them outdoors where cucumbers, marrows, potatoes or tomatoes grew last year—they share similar diseases. If those crops had issues, the soil could pass problems on to your new peppers. Rotate crops to keep your plants healthy and productive! #gardening #peppers

The world produces more than enough #food to feed everyone.
Yet it is shamefully misallocated.
BigAg firms make more profit by exporting food for animal feed, biofuels, or ultra-processed foods, than selling it to poor people. 1/3 of all food is simply wasted.

Only politics can end world hunger - IPES-Food
"Hunger persists because we allow injustice to endure. Food isn’t scarce but many people can’t access it.” To give people access to food, we must confront power & inequality.
